MENU FWD / MENU REV

These sonar units have many features that are accessed with the menu keys. The MENU FWD key moves forward through the menus, the MENU REV key moves backward. To see the first menu, simply press either MENU key. To see the other menus, press a MENU key repeatedly.

UP and DOWN ARROWS

Use these keys to adjust virtually every feature and function on the unit. NOTE: The up arrow key also stops the chart when no menus are displayed.

To start the chart, press the up arrow key again.

The lights flash for about ten seconds when the unit is turned on. Two menus appear, one after the other. The menus are the lights (BACK LIGHT) and a feet-meter selection (FEET/METER). To turn the lights on, press the up arrow key. To switch from feet to meters, press the down arrow key when the proper menu appears. The menus disappear after a few seconds. If you don’t want to wait, press the

PWR key to clear the menus from the screen.

When the sonar unit is first turned on, the display appears similar to the one at right. The unit is in the automatic mode and the Fish ID feature is off. The depth range shows on the left side of the screen. On the screen at right, the range is from 0 to 40 feet and the bottom depth is 29.4 feet.
